Every country, and nation should find someone in its generation who will transform it. Our country is it at her defining moment in history, where we have a choice of operating at the default level or choose to redesign.
In 1960 per capital income in Nigeria is higher than that of South Korea.
Indonesia has the same experience we have but today, they have left us behind.
As at 1990, India according to World Bank and IMF, they are almost bankrupt, Less than $1b. They decided, should we believe the report or work against it and today they have gone ahead of many nations. Today they gave $50b to some the African countries.
Anyone who tells us we can develop by importing everything is lying to you. We are lied to yesterday by yesterday men and women in power, telling us we are the largest economy in Africa when we don't have any economy in the first place.
In Korea, the strategy is, “if we don’t have it here, we don’t need it here. That is the strategies that change the country.”
Why import from China, what we need to do is get Chiness company to build plant here and produce and later export. We need a generation that will look IMF and World Bank in the face and tell them we got what it takes to drive our economy. In 1992, Mahathir bin Mohammad told them the same and walked away.
In Nigeria we can repeat what China, India, Brazil has done, because those are emerging economies. When you fix Nigeria you have fix so many African nation.
Asian, Latin American miracle is possible and is evidence telling us we can do it.
